The Opportunity

Share your efforts and connect with your neighbors, peers, colleagues from around the island. Present facts and figures as an expert in your field to a larger audience than may be possible in individual classes, workshops and seminars around the island. The venue allows presenters to share their story under the best possible circumstances. After your presentation attendees are invited to connect with you in designated discussion areas. Presenters are invited to connect with our social media partners.

Format of the EventA short video will help introduce your topic. Then you’ve be given 10 minutes to tell your story. Presenters are asked to continue with a follow up discussion in a designated area of the lobby. You will be guided to this spot by a volunteer who will help gather folks interested in continuing the discussion.

PresentationsPresentations should contain facts related to our island’s sustainability which help folks live more self-sufficiently. Key indicators, metrics and information residents need to know to make informed decisions. Presentations should help attendees understand our island’s key self-sufficiency concerns in your area of expertise. This important opportunity can serve many by illuminating information which helps us live self-sufficiently.
